One of the best restaurants I've been to in the city was undoubtedly here. The staff was very friendly and the food was fresh and had a unique taste. The steak and chicken sandwich was wonderful and my suggestion is the well done steak 😇

This was a work event. A top venue in a wonderful location on the water. Special thanks to the server Gabriel. She went above and beyond to assist a group member with special dietary needs. Be sure to look after that one, boss. 👍

Large bustling pub located on the banks of the Yarra in the South Bank area, next to the convention centre and DFO Outlet centre. Offering indoor and outdoor seating, with heaters during the colder months. Easy to get to from Melbourne’s CBD across one of the many bridges over the river. Alternately if you’re tired after walking around the outlet mall with your wife / girlfriend this is a super-convenient spot for a refreshment or two while you wait.

Nice location with the water view. You will need to order food & drink at the bar, then staff will deliver food to your table. Very friendly staff with good food, like the mushroom, tasty. Salmon cooked perfectly with nice flavor.
